I’m new to this message board, but right away I noticed there’s no avast! Premier forum Hence, I’m posting in this forum until somebody directs me to the right place to post avast! Premier questions.
Anyway … I’m using avast! Premier version 2014.9.0.2016. All’s well, apart from the fact my Twitter embeds on Web sites haven’t loaded since I installed this utility. I thought this might be due to some avast! Premier Uniform Resource Locator restriction (F.Y.I. I’m using Firefox 29.0) but so far I’ve been unable to locate any “permitted URLs” function within avast! Premier. So, this may all be one big coincidence.
:-\
But in case it’s not—and in case you, dear reader, have experienced a similar scenario since installing avast! Premier—I’d greatly appreciate some helpful advice. Thank you very much for your attention to my inquiries!
Open AOS by clicking the green icon at the top of the browser and select settings. On the settings page ensure that the social network setting is not ticked
Thank you, essexboy, for your timely advice and the image file. Thing is, although the avast! Online Security extension is installed and enabled, there is no green icon at the top of my Firefox 29.0 browser (nor anywhere else on the browser). Strangely, in the browser’s Add-ons page under its Tools menu, the avast! Online Security extension’s entry has no Options button.
:o
I’ve scoured the avast! Premier interface and can’t find any “avast! Online Security Settings” there either. It seems to me such a social-network setting as you mentioned appeared at some point when I installed this utility; and I must have ticked it. Anyway … how do I get the green icon you mentioned to appear on my browser; and, meanwhile, where within the avast! Premier interface can I find those “avast! Online Security Settings”?
???
Thank you for your continued help and patience. I look forward to getting my embedded Tweets back!
Thanks again, essexboy, for your advice! Well, I found the avast! Online Security icon by right-clicking (It’s left-clicking for me, since my mouse is set up to be left-handed.) on empty space atop the toolbars and then clicking on Customize in the resultant drop-down menu.
… when I clicked on SETTINGS in the lower-right corner of that box I was brought to a do-nothing page residing at chrome://wrc/content/options.html. It is, as you can see via the image below, a dead end for me and my Firefox 29.0.
In short, for access to the settings page you showed me earlier, one is required to be browsing via Chrome. That’s my back-up browser, so I eventually got there; but avast! ought to make its utility more universal and less (shall we say) proprietary, ought it not? Firefox users are being shortchanged.
One stage at a time, though. I appreciate your advice and help in solving this “Where have my Twitter embeds gone?” problem. They’re back! Yay!
Hmm, must be some major changes coming in Fx 29 – or maybe it’s just that it’s still (I presume) in beta. That AOS icon and mini-window work fine for me with Fx 28, including the Settings link.
Thank you, MikeBCda, for that information! Perhaps I’d better quit this Firefox beta update channel and go back to Firefox 28.0, since it’s working properly for you. I’ll go do that and post the result here.
You’re quite welcome. While I’m sure my participation might speed finalization up a little, I try to avoid betas like the plague … the one exception was way back when I used ICQ as my primary messenger, before AOL took it over. Technically that always was beta, until AOL suddenly “finalized” it by turning it into shareware.
